Buying into edge computing MPUs

DigiKey has announced the launch of STMicroelectronics’ STM32MP25 second-generation microprocessors. The MPUs are designed to support high-end edge computing use cases, such as machine vision, and drive future progress in smart factories, smart healthcare, smart buildings and smart infrastructure.

DigiKey’s director, multi-market semiconductor, Sean Sorteberg, said: “DigiKey customers have benefited from our collaboration with STMicroelectronics, and we look forward to offering them the latest technology solutions to navigate complex security challenges, fulfil IoT connectivity needs and enable developers to innovate.”

STMicroelectronics’ VP microcontroller, digital and RF product group Americas, Loris Valenti, added: “The STM32MP25 microprocessors efficiently address the need for more intelligence and processing capability in connected edge IoT devices.”

The industrial-grade single or dual 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 core serves as an MPU platform for Industry 4.0 and advanced edge AI capabilities. A dedicated neural processing unit adds up to 1.35 TOPS, making it a choice microprocessor for edge AI acceleration and robust security.
